Question: A worker was producing a product for which the standard time was 1 minute per unit. During an 8 hour workday, the worker produced 620

  1. A worker was producing a product for which the standard time was 1 minute per unit. During an 8 hour workday, the worker produced 620 units. What would be the worker's pay for that day if the basic pay rate was $11 per hour and the piece rate bonus was $2 per unit above standard

  1. Some observations have been taken on a head baker for a school district. The numerical breakdown of the baker's activities is: Make Ready (6); Do (9); Clean Up (4); Idle (3). Based on this information, how many work-sampling observations are required to determine how much of the baker's time is spent in "make ready"? Assume a 4 percent desired absolute accuracy and 95 percent confidence level.
  2. A time study was made of an existing job to develop new time standards. A worker was observed for 65 minutes During that period, 61 units were produced Working fraction for the task was 102 percent. The analyst rated the worker as performing at a 90 percent performance rate. What is the normal time for the task
  3. A time study was made of an existing job to develop new time standards. A worker was observed for 53 minutes. During that period, 63 units were produced. Working fraction for the task was 98 percent. The analyst rated the worker as performing at a 100 percent performance rate. Allowances in the firm for rest and personal time are 22 percent What is the standard time for the task
  4. Suppose you want to set a time standard for the baker making her specialty, square doughnuts. The performance rate was 107 percent, the working fraction 104 percent, and the allowances are 19 percent. A work sampling study of her on "doughnut day" yielded the following results:

Time Spent (working and idle)-> 353 minutes

Number of doughnuts produced -> 3407

Working time -> 333 minutes
